50 Haben müssen Tipps zum Umzug nach Lissabon

Während Portugiesisch ist ähnlich wie Spanisch, es ist eine ganz andere Sprache. Why? Portuguese has significantly more sounds making it a more difficult language to pronounce. Es gibt auch viele falsche Freunde. What are those? Words that look and sound the same but have completely different meanings; for example, Kakerlake bedeutet billig auf Spanisch, aber Kakerlake in Portugiesisch.

Dies ist etwas, das ich egal empfehlen, wo Sie leben. Es hilft nur Sie Ihre geistige Gesundheit pflegen, and if you work from home like we do – it saves time and aggravation. Reinigungsunternehmen hier sind sehr erschwinglich, so it is a worthwhile spend (the average cleaning person charges €30).

Ich habe nicht in der Lage gewesen, Karteikarten hier in Lissabon zu finden. I’ve asked natives and shown them mine and they tell me they have never seen them before…so bring some with you. Why would you need index cards to do language training flashcards, Hinweise auf Rezepte zu halten, to study history of Portugal. You can buy them online from Amazon.co.uk.

Portugal liebt Papierkram. Investieren Sie in einen guten Anwalt, so dass Sie nicht über eine Form verpassen oder eine ausfüllen falsch. Doing so can cause you a ridiculous amount of time. You can find one by visiting various Facebook Groups or just looking for Advogados.

17. Holen Sie sich einen Buchhalter

Portugiesisches Steuerrecht ist kompliziert. Don’t mess around and get yourself an accountant. Lots of Lawyers are also Accountants. So feel free ask your lawyer.

Mietwagen können super billig sein. Ich habe für so wenig wie € 4 gemietetpro Tag. It’s cheaper than buying (rates do go up in the high tourist season). There are many aggregators out their for cheap car rental. Just google around.

33. Find a place to live

Or an apartment or hours. Idealista is a fantastic site for this. Die meisten Makler Liste ihre Eigenschaften dort. If you are looking for easier to work with you can try Airbnb. Most places will do longer term rentals and even you can negotiate annual ones. If you are looking rent, we’ve put together a thorough guide on how to find an apartment rental in Lisbon.

Es gibt verschiedene Regeln auf, was macht Sie legal in der EU fahren. Nehmen Sie einfach eine internationale Lizenz, so dass Sie in Probleme laufen nicht. If you’re from the US, you also need to change your US driver’s license to a Portuguese one within 90 days of getting your residency, so do that immediately after. The process is a bit complicated.

I have visited Lisbon – lovely city! I have not moved there but I have to Spain and love your tips! My favourites have to be take an art class! There is some amazing street art and tours in Lisbon it is such a creative city! My second favourite tip is learn basic phrases – as manners really do go a long way – alternatively Spanish as many Portogeuse (can’t spell) people speak it and it is easier to learn.

I’m sooo glad I found you! My husband and I plan to spend 3 months in Portugal, probably Lisbon to start come 2019 so PLEASE don’t stop blogging! We fell in love with this country 10 years ago when we visited Madeira for a week and then travelled the mainland for a week. We adopted a kitten who found us on Madeira and plan to bring him back ‘home’ when we travel. Letztendlich, he has a passport! I know how to do the pet travel part, but am curious about whether you think we should get a visa or just utilize our pass port and stay only 90 Tage. I will utilize your 50 tips as needed.

Same here. I fell in love with Portugal on day 1 and kick myself for not doing this sooner. It is such a lovely country and its people are soooo nice. Haven’t made it to Madeira…yet…would love to get your tips 😉

If you’re coming for only 3 months (assuming that you’re coming from the US) you don’t need a visa (unless the rules change – there may be changes coming from the EU because the US did not extend the same visa requirements to some of the member nations). Last I checked you’re a-ok. Before I had asked for my extended visa, I would fly out to Croatia (another gorgeous country – and do some time there to re-set the requirements).

If you have any other specific questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us (Antonio & me) 🙂

So sorry to be now replying. It has been very hectic here. Thank you so much for your reply. I do know about the 3 months and have reviewed some of the work for application for long term residency status.

Could you recommend a real estate agent in Lisbon? We just want to rent a spot/flat for 3 months – mid January to mid April 2019. We will be coming with Vasco kitty. I have looked on Craigslist and Airbnb. Perhaps those are the way to go, but thought I’d ask.

I will need to research a vet before I get there just in case. I wonder if Dr. Raquel Fino is still on Madeira or left the island???? Research is required.

I have joined an expat site and will enquirer there as well for advise.

We loved Madeira. We stayed in a friends place in Pinta Del Sol, loved Ribera Brava as well. Val here is quainte as well as Camara Del Lobos (?) where Pope John Paul visited the church there. Nonetheless, the whole island was just fabulous. This is where Vasco came from. We drove the whole island in a week and feel we did t touch the surface.

No worries. I know how crazy things can get when you’re relocating. For renting out a spot for three months, you’ll have a much easier time with Airbnb. Most realtors won’t touch any short-term rentals. They are paid by the landlords who prefer to have long-term rentals to ease the cost of the realtors. I’ll ask around my group of friends to see if anyone is planning to leave their flat during that time 😀

I haven’t made it to Madeira, but I’m planning a trip there soon. Thrilled to hear you loved it…and I feel like most of Portugal is like that. I’ve been in Lisbon so long between my previous visits and this relocation and I am still discovering new things.

Well hello once again! I hope my message finds you well. My husband retires at the end of this year and I am currently searching for our place to stay. I’m curious is there is anyone there that I could pay that could tell us about the couple of places that I am looking at from a distance. Most seem to be in the Graca/Mouraria area. Claude is a little skittish and really doesn’t want to make an unpleasant mistake for 3solid months. Any advice you can share is appreciated.

Realtors are starting to work with people on this. They will visit apartments for you and send you virtual tours. Graca and Mouraria are up and coming. I love the Mouraria. It was known for being sketchy, but I like a touch of sketchy…and martim moniz square is there.It really depends on what you like. Just know that both of those neighborhoods are quite hilly. Here’s my guide to neighboods – that may help https://blancavalbuena.com/top-ten-neighborhoods-lisbon-portugal/

You can also say in the UK to do the visa run for another 90 Tage. Though Portugal is very good about extending people an extra 90 days on top of the first 90 Tage. Especially if you are traveling the country. Just go to the SEF, make an appointment and ask for a tourist visa extension.

Thank you for your reply. I hope that we can meet for drinks or something when we arrive next year. I will keep in touch and it’s nice to talk to a local. Now I’m waiting to hear from the embassy regarding court experiences for my husband who is retiring from 34 years of being a judge. I can’t wait!

Will be moving in Portugal on my husband’s place at Santarem sometime in June. I stumbled on this article and though this is more about Lisbon, it gave me great information and setting my perspective to my upcoming move. Great article!
